No manager is perfect, playing a half fit Kane in the CL final was a big red cross however the common theme here is managers not getting backed properly , Poch signed off on some horrible players like Ndombele and GLC - I actually think had we had Patricia around when poch was here them 2 signings don't happen and we give him some young players like Gray and Bergvail , Udogie and Spence then its a different story.

but come home for what - i don't think he has progressed as a manager at all.... Ange finished above him last season..
 
🚨 The Cult of #Ange must be stopped now he is NOT the Messiah

⚠️ Spurs finished the game v Leicester with a lower XG than 38 year old Jamie Vardy

⚠️ Spurs still haven’t got as many points this season (and our next game is in February) as we had after 10 matches last season

⚠️ The defeat against Leicester was the first time since a loss to Notts County in 1912 that Spurs have lost at home to a side who had lost their previous seven league matches

⚠️ Tottenham have failed to win any of their last seven Premier League games (D1 L6), their longest winless run in the top-flight since a nine-match stint between May and October 2008

⚠️ Ange Is the first #Spurs boss since David Pleat in 2003-04 to lose four top-flight games in succession on two occasions.

⚠️ Tottenham conceded two goals in the opening five minutes of the second half in this match, the first time that Spurs have suffered that fate since November 1997 against Liverpool.

⚠️ PPG 1.04

⚠️ 8 wins in the last 10

⚠️ 1 point out of a possible 21

⚠️ 4 points from 36

⚠️ 8 points from the last 13 games

⚠️ 11 points from 45

⚠️ 30 points from 90

⚠️ Spurs 2nd bottom in the form table only above Southampton

⚠️ 85 days since we last one at home

⚠️ 12 weeks since we won at home

⚠️ 13 defeats in 23 games

⚠️ 9 wins in 10 months now

⚠️ Woolwich's last 100 games - 13 Losses
Spurs last 20 games - 13 Losses

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH #AngeOut before it’s to late

Fucking wow.

Amongst a sea of shit, that stands out as extra-turdy...
 
Heard this morning - and apologies if it’s been mentioned on here already, but I can’t be arsed going through all the pages - that his payoff is significantly larger if he’s sacked whilst in a cup competition. Source works in football, but not for us, so not sure how good this info is.

And he didn’t just say “significantly”, he said “SIGNIFICANTLY’.
That I can believe!

The ‘get behind the manager, we believe he can turn it around’, I don’t!
 
Not saying that it has to be Benitez, but we need some pragmatism.

Yeah I get you thinking mate. I want Iraola but that won't happen till the summer.....and probably not a good idea right now.

So I would give it to Terzic, he will sure us up defensively and will keep us competitive in the cups. He's an adaptable coach who will get points on the board which is what we need.

Can't believe the club has let it get to this situation....even if we get a couple of wins we aren't going anywhere under Ange.

Take away Celtic, Ange Postecoglou averages 1.4-1.5 PPG in the league everywhere he's been...including the J-League, where you can lose 8 Games and still win ln the league.
 
I'm guessing this has already been said but surely Ange now has an insurmountable credibility issue as a Premier League manager?

I think the majority of Spurs supporters wanted him to succeed initially but there have been varying degrees of believing in the possibility of Ange succeeding at Spurs as time has passed and results have deteriorated.

Ange has lost too many games to continue beyond the end of this season and has now become a dead man walking.

The board not sacking him after losing to Everton and Leicester can only mean one thing in my opinion.

They either can't, or are unwilling, to do any serious, long term transfer business in this window.

Levy's waiting for the window to close before he sacks Ange.
 
Must be an external hire.

You think he's trying to get us relegated in pursuit of being beaten in the 1/4 final of the ropey league by any half well coached side?

Nah, I think he realises that, given the injuries we've had, we'd be better off finishing 17th and wining the EL than finishing anywhere between 2nd and 16th. And that he is confident we will climb the table once the 10 first team players who have been unavailable recently are back in the team.
 
Agree - it had to happen today really but it will on the 10th cos theres no way we are winning the games we need to keep his job.
I don't believe the compensation thing is the reason at all - Levy has sacked managers left right and centre for decades not caring about compo - there must be someone lined up for the summer and no one good to take the caretaker role.
TBF I would be shitting myself if Mason took the reigns for a relegation battle as much as Ange but something has to change.

Cost of paying him of may be more, sure.
Cost of going down is estimated between £85m to £100m in the first season.

And then of course there's the unquantifiable long term damage to the clubs reputation for years to come.
City, Newcastle, Leeds, West Ham, Villa all got relegated and were nothing more than mid table/relegation fodder until some of them got bought out.
If we think things are bad now, see what 1 or seasons out of the PL will do. It'll be an absolute disaster.

The whole talk of this is way overblown, it's not as though we have to pay a lump sum, he'd just go on gardening leave and we'd pay his wages until he gets another job...

:levywtf:

OK it might be a while, but it doesn't need to be a top job, we'd just have to make up the shortfall or something, I'm sure the Yabbee Creek Flamin' Gallahs will more or less match his wages here...
 
MOTD2 post match analysis is great. A perfect example of how he has hung a player, this time Bentancur, out to dry with his tactics. He is basically a one man midfield as the other two are so far up the pitch and he cant cover the ground in time back and forth across the pitch time and again.

Honestly, he is just so bad of a manager. Something else about how we are set up is highlighted time and again. And if the BBC can do it you can bet every PL club with all their coaching staff and analysists can do too. Hence why everyone keeps beating us!
 
Why haven't we sacked him yet?

He's clearly out of his depth, of course the board and some of the players are also to blame BUT Ange is responsible for the first team and in all honesty we've been shit ever since THAT defeat to Chelsea.

Levy needs to fuck off as well.
